Here is the description of the hour of death and the agonies of the deceased written by, A’la Hadrat, Imām-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, Maulānā, Ash-Shāh Imam Ahmad Razā Khān عَـلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن: The soul, feeling the fresh taste of death – the shocks of death, the weakest of which is like the pain of a hundred strikes of a sword, which is more agonizing than a thousand strikes of a sword. In fact, the sight of the angel of death alone is more painful than a thousand strikes of the sword. That will be a new place – utter seclusion – a horrifying sense of helplessness – then the startling arrival of the Nakīrayn (i.e. two angels Munkar and Nakeer) – the appearance of those terrible faces which would leave one aghast, even if seen in the presence of thousands of people – black faced – boulder-sized, big blue eyes, glistening like shiny metal, breath, like raging flames – long sharp-pointed teeth, like the long horns of cattle; long entangled hair dragging on the floor. The gigantic appearance of the angels is yet another torment, their shoulders – miles apart; the sledgehammer in their hands – so heavy that if one community of humans and jinns gathered to lift it they would be unable to do so – the thundering voices – announcing their arrival into the grave by ripping the ground with their teeth. As if all these ordeals were not enough, as soon as they come they will make the deceased person sit up and will grant no time and in a stern voice and rebuking tone, take the test etc.

وَحَسۡبُنَا اللّٰهُ وَنِعۡمَ الۡوَكِيۡلُ اِرۡحَمۡ ضُعۡفَنَا يَا كَرِيۡمُ يَا جَـمِيۡلُ

صَلِّ وَسَلِّمۡ عَلَي نَبِيِّ الرَّحۡـمَةِ وَاٰلِهِ الۡكِرَامِ وَسَائِرِ الۡاُمَّةِ اٰمِيۡنَ اٰمِيۡنَ يَا اَرۡحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيۡن

Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) is Sufficient for us – and what an excellent (and reliable) Trustee (of affairs). Compassionate! Have mercy on our feebleness. The Excellent One! Send Your Peace and Blessings upon the Merciful Prophet (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم), his honourable descendents and upon the rest of his Ummah (nation). The Most Merciful, accept this (Du’ā), please accept.

گھُپ اندھیرا کا بھی وَحشت کا بسیرا ہوگا                    قبر میں کیسے اکیلا میں رہوں گا یا ربّ!
